Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Theologie - Historische Theologie, Kirchengeschichte, Note: 1,0, Universität Bielefeld, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Denkmäler haben eine elementare Funktion in einer Gesellschaft. Sie sind vermittelnde Medien zwischen der Vergangenheit und der Gegenwart. Denkmäler repräsentieren einerseits neutral die Geschichte einer Kultur, andererseits implizieren sie auch evident die Bedeutung des Vergangenen für eine Gesellschaft. Bereits die Diskussionen um ihren Bau oder Nicht-Bau symbolisieren die „politischen und mentalen Transformationen einer Gesellschaft“ . Ein Denkmal spiegelt nicht nur ein erinnerungswürdiges Ereignis der Vergangenheit wider, sondern auch den Umgang eines Volkes mit seiner Vergangenheit. Peter Carrier formuliert es ähnlich: „It is necessarily a product and reflection of its time, derived from the initiative of an individual, group or state.“ Mahnmäler lassen Schlüsse über den Grad und die Intensität der Ereignisverarbeitung zu, da die Darstellungsweise den Erinnerungsmodus widerspiegelt. Eine wissenschaftliche Untersuchung, basierend auf der Interpretation von Denkmälern, führte auch Janet Jacobs, Professorin für Soziologie an der Universität von Colorado, durch. Sie untersuchte die Erinnerungskultur zum Holocaust in Deutschland unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Betrachtung der Rolle der Synagogen und heiligen Kultgegenstände. Ihre Forschungsarbeit basiert auf Feldarbeit an fünfzig Gedächtnisstätten zur Kristallnacht. Ihre Forschungsergebnisse legte Janet Jacobs im Jahr 2008 in der „Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion“ dar.

How do collective memories of histories of violence and trauma in war and genocide come to be created? Janet Jacobs offers new understandings of this crucial issue in her examination of the representation of gender in the memorial culture of Holocaust monuments and museums, from synagogue memorials and other historical places of Jewish life, to the geographies of Auschwitz, Majdanek and Ravensbruck. Jacobs travelled to Holocaust sites across Europe to explore representations of women. She reveals how these memorial cultures construct masculinity and femininity, as well as the Holocaust's effect on stereotyping on grounds of race or gender. She also uncovers the wider ways in which images of violence against women have become universal symbols of mass trauma and genocide. This feminist analysis of Holocaust memorialization brings together gender and collective memory with the geographies of genocide to fill a significant gap in our understanding of genocide and national remembrance.

Memorializing Pearl Harbor examines the challenge of representing history at the site of the attack that brought America into World War II. Analyzing moments in which history is re-presented—in commemorative events, documentary films, museum design, and educational programming—Geoffrey M. White shows that the memorial to the Pearl Harbor bombing is not a fixed or singular institution. Rather, it has become a site in which many histories are performed, validated, and challenged. In addition to valorizing military service and sacrifice, the memorial has become a place where Japanese veterans have come to seek recognition and reconciliation, where Japanese Americans have sought to correct narratives of racial mistrust, and where Native Hawaiians have challenged their ongoing erasure from their own land. Drawing on extended ethnographic fieldwork, White maps these struggles onto larger controversies about public history, museum practices, and national memory.

This book is a tool to help facilitate the healing and restoration process that ultimately God brings forth. A sacred healing means God is guiding the process. We are living in amazing times as God is dismantling all destructive programming imposed on the minds of humanity. Living under the influence of these programs has caused so much chaos and trauma. There is historical, generational and personal trauma that is impacting the way we live life. As more people wake up spiritually, the need for healing is crucial. These deep seeded programs that keep us in bondage must be recognized so that our God given true nature can emerge. We are beings of God’s love and light. Anything not aligned with Gods love is against the intended design of humanity and therefore will cause discord. Just like a fish must live in water according to its nature, we to need to live according to the nature God designed for us.

This intriguing investigation of an historically embedded cultural struggle over the possession of America's "collective memory" has significant implications for how we interpret cultural conflict in past, present, and future America.
